|  | 1. Birds on a Wire
Do they know friendship?
They are free to live
Or die as fate dictates
Searching for food
Winging about
Chirping to each other
They must know something
Akin to friendship
Allegiance?
Protect the clan
Feed the babies
Clamor for hunger
And shelter
Birds on a wire
They do not seem to
Worry about paying the rent
Or buying groceries
Or finding love
Or all the other
Things that I lose sleep over
They are free
They are birds
